With information technology resources increasingly becoming perceived as a commodity, it is simply not enough anymore for higher education CIOs to deliver operational excellence. The much greater challenge looming on the horizon is how to flawlessly meet stakeholder expectations while also engaging limited staff and resources to provide the institution with strategic, added-value services.
As powerful mobile devices continue to proliferate the campus, students and faculty reject central IT in favor of their own tools and the demand for rich media content strangles wireless networks, the outlook is troubling, but not without hope. A new wave of cloud-based solutions is emerging to replace traditionally cumbersome systems, and success or failure may very well hinge on leveraging their potential to achieve previously unrealized organizational capacity. With so little margin for error, now more than ever it is critical to learn from how colleagues are navigating this perilous landscape.
The Campus Technology Summit is an interactive, discussion driven event; therefore you are a participant in the summit… not just an attendee. Senior leadership will have the opportunity to discuss and debate the challenges facing their institutions in a relaxed environment. From exclusive keynote addresses to intimate round table discussions, the Campus Technology Summit will supply you with the essential knowledge take-away that is all but absent from other industry events.
“The summit format is very effective in bringing together IT leaders in an environment that is conducive for discussing and in some situations solving technology challenges.”

“I especially enjoyed the pace and ability to have informal conversations in a more intimate setting than some of the larger conferences. The quality of presenters and vendors equaled those larger conferences as well. The presentations provided a view of innovative solutions that are being implemented across varying institutions of varying size. There were a number of discussions around strategic decisions as well.”
